According to Napoleoni's book, Insurgent Iraq, the whole strategy of the Zarqawi wing of the resistance WAS to attack Shia - and other non-Sunni Iraqis- so as to provoke a civil war within the resistance and, apparently solidify an Islamist base among the Sunni population. The murder of the day laborers seems consistent with that strategy. SR -------------- Original message -------------- From: Doug Henwood <dhenwood at panix.com>
